Creating Folders for Saving Workbooks

Sometimes when you are saving a workbook, you will want to create a new folder, where you can later save other, similar workbooks. You can create this new folder at the same time you save the workbook.

To create a new folder:

1. Click Save As.. on the File menu.
2. Click the Create New Folder button to the right of the Save in: box.
3. Enter the name for the new folder in the New Folder dialog box that appears.
4. Click OK.
5. Enter the name for the file in the File name: box.
6. Click the Save button.

Your new folder becomes a subfolder in whichever folder is displayed in the Save As dialog box. If you want to change the location of the new folder, follow the steps for changing the location of a file. Click the Up one level button to the right of the Save in: box until the desired location is displayed, or click the arrow to open the Save in: drop-down list of drives and click the desired drive.
